Local construction firm Al-Sahel Contracting Company has won a contract to build The Bristol Luxury Hotels & Resorts project in Dubai.

The contract was awarded by local real estate developer Emaar Properties.

The Bristol Luxury Hotels & Resorts is located at Emaar Beachfront in Dubai Harbour.

The project comprises a 54-storey mixed-use building with about 150 hotel keys and 227 one- to four-bedroom apartments.

Enabling works have been completed by local firm Dutch Foundation.

Dubai-based Mirage Leisure & Development is the project’s consultant.

Construction is expected to be completed by 2028.

The contract award follows Emaar’s appointment of Dubai-based Aroma International Building Contracting to build the Address Grand Downtown tower.

The award also comes shortly after Emaar reported strong operating momentum in 2025, led by record property sales of AED80.4bn ($21.9bn), up 16% year on year.

The company’s revenue backlog from property sales rose to AED155bn ($42bn), supporting visibility on future revenue recognition.

Total revenue for 2025 reached AED49.6bn ($13.5bn), a 40% year-on-year increase. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation grew 33% to AED25.6bn ($7bn), while net profit before tax rose 36% to AED25.7bn ($7bn).

Emaar’s platform continued to support performance across property development, malls, hospitality, leisure and international operations.
